Grandma shows how to take all the bones out of a chicken but leaves it whole. She then stuffs it with her homemade Rice O Roni ties it up and bakes it.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 2 cups Rice O Roni uncooked divided
- string to tie up chicken
- rack or a few celery ribs
Directions
Prepare your Rice O Roni and let it cool you can make it the day before (if you have self control and don’t eat it all before you use it.) I like to divide my rice o roni I pull out a 1/4 of my rice for stuffing the chicken if I need more I can always add to it but you don’t want to cross contaminate. Clean out the part of the chicken like the liver, gizzards and such if you like those you can add them back into the rice o roni or you can save them for stock. De bone the chicken as shown in the video below. Set chicken on a rack or on celery ribs in a pan and bake in a pre heated 375℉ oven for approximately 1 hour. If chicken is frozen place in a pre heated 350℉ oven frozen and bake for possibly 2 hours until internal temp is 165℉. Let rest for 10 minutes then cut strings off and slice it into desired sizes and serve with remaining rice o roni.
